Awesome meal. Mussels and Bake Brie were amazing as were my lamb chops and my wife's perfectly cooked scallops. Great cocktails and excellent service! Cozy bar. Cute spot. Amazing patio when the weather is warmer.

Really great little local place with class. Amazing outside seating when weather permits and the inside is essentially an old home converted. People are amazing and attentive. I love local places with character. We had the pork chop (spectacular flavor with some panceta on top - don't be afraid to get it medium) with an amazing rosemary polenta (super crisp outside and buttery inside) With a crab cake on the side - I'd have to say the crab cake was just a little fishy and could have been crisper - I'm not sure I would choose it as my main course so we got it as a side. Their aioli is anchovy based which was a nice little kick - Its funny, if you are not told what the flavor is you would swear it was slightly "curry" but it was a nice add to the crab. Not shown in my pics was a buffalo meatball app with tzatziki - the meatballs are ok - buffalo is naturally kind of lean/dry - but that tzatziki was amazing - clearly fresh made with thick greek yoghurt and really fresh herbs. It was a gamechanger for the dish. Pros: * Great atmosphere - very date night worthy * drink selection is amazing and creative - gives you a lot to talk about and ponder * Amazing people and a local place with class Good/Cons: * Food was good - a 5/5 on a "Longmont" scale but overall really a 3/5. I left thinking "that was good" but not "man we need to come back here as soon as we can"... Satisfied but not blown away. A step above pumphouse - probably on par with the Roost (local places). Not as good as Sugarbeet. * It seems like it is always kind of quiet and reserved - I definitely like being able to talk to my date/wife (always my wife if that was unclear) but not so quiet I'm uncomfortable with lively conversation. Outside is always better but when its cold you can't really do that.

First time there. Forgot to take any pictures because I was enjoying it so much. My wife and I went and had a great experience! The greeting was prompt, polite and courteous and we were seated right away. As the weather was nice, we sat out on their expansive patio. Service was professional, knowledgable and engaging. I had the Rack of Lamb and my wife enjoyed the Scallops and Crab Cake. Everything was cooked to exactly to our preferred temp and plating was fantastic. The meal was great! We just relocated back to Northern Colorado a few months ago and is the best meal we've had since we've been back. We followed up with a Creme Brulee and their Tiramisu. Both desserts were again great. I would definitely recommend this place and plan on coming back again!

Okayyyyy...now that deserves a review! Been coming to Martini's off and on over the years. But Wowzers, tonight was next level. I'm a sucker for some good pork. And the pork chop tonight did not disappoint. Truly amazing. And whatever they did to their wedge, I hope they keep it up. Very unique and freakin' delicious. Our server was really good as well, very knowledgeable and persuasive in the right way. Outdoor patio ambiance is fantastic. (Indoors feels a bit stuffy, so really glad for the expanded patio.) Looking forward to coming back soon. Compliments to the chef!

Table side martinis... sign me up! Oh wait, I already did ;D We ordered: (Complimentary Bread) The Winnie = 4 STARS Dirty Martini = 3 STARS Steak Kabobs = 4 STARS Crab Cake & Scallops = 5 STARS New Zealand Rack of Lamb = 5 STARS So let's break it down... We absolutely loved the presentation of the martinis. They were brought out in personal silver shakers then shaken and served on the spot. It was a fun spark to the evening! They were delightful, refreshing and well-appreciated. So why the 3 STARS on the Dirty Martini? For us, it was the olives. For the vibe of the establishment, we were expecting to be served a fancier olive pairing. That's all. We ordered the Steak Kabobs for an appetizer. They had a delicious glaze over them that accompanied the horseradish sauce beautifully. So why the 4 STARS? They were slightly more well-done than I prefer. A few of my bites would be medium, while others were medium-well. The bites that were a true medium were full of so much more flavor than the medium-well ones. It made me think if they were a medium-rare the flavors would have popped even more. Now, we LOVED our entrees. They were incredible presentations, seasoned to perfection and generous portions. My Crab Cake & Scallops were served with Asparagus, Potatoes and a lovely lemony sauce. Everything was textbook. I'd order it again and again! My husband's Rack of Lamb was served with seared gnocchi and lima beans. We'd typically never order lamb but our waiter recommended it and I'm glad we listened. It was outstanding. I really enjoyed the rub they put on the lamb. It was full of black pepper, which is my favorite. Overall, we were very impressed and highly recommend dropping in! Especially if you like dining in a cozy redone historic home and enjoy being served by a welcoming and friendly staff, then this place will make you feel right at home. :D
